#33 - We have looked like a top 10 team in four out of five games. People now remember UK-UGA and UK-Ole Miss more than UK-SC. I doubt we lose any votes during off-week. Beat Vandy, and we'll be knocking on the door of the top 25.

 

[Smashcat]

Thought we'd be at least 26 or 27th.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

They just look at number of losses. We have 2. No one ranked has more than 1.

 

[CUJO_1970]

The South Carolina result was inexcusable. That’s what they remember. We’d be around 15 or even higher without that loss.

Fortunately it happened early. This team has recovered well and needs to keep on the current path.

 

[RunninRichie]

We'd be top 15-20 had we beat USC.

 

[Catfanlou]

Just shows the lack of credibility of the poll .

UK beats Vandy at home and we will stay pat at about 30-33 range. Unless a ton of others above us (22-30) lose the next 2 weeks.

Vandy is better than before but will still be an underdog at UK. UK wins it easily and maybe we make a move. Fla and Auburn will move the needle more (Fla cause its at Fla) and Auburn just because a better name / program over the years). Win all 3 and be 6-2 we will be top 20 probably (with some others losing).

 

[DraftCat]

With this defense it's now going to hard to count UK out moving forward.

If the offense can just do a bit better.....

 

[EliteBlue]

Won’t be ranked for 3 more weeks at minimum. Bye-Vandy-UF all have to be wins and then we will crack the top 25 to create a Top 25 made for tv matchup at UT

That win yesterday was nowhere near as impressive as many here think. What we really did is, expose an overrated team that had played absolutely no one. It also looks like Georgia is in a bit of a down year. That defensive performance is not nearly as impressive as I thought it was two weeks ago.

 

[BGWentworth]

We lost 33-6 to South Carolina. What do you expect? Some of you are delusional. And who really cares anyway?

 

[TucsonCat]

I don't see anyone we inarguably deserve to be ranked over.
We are getting some respect.
We are the highest ranked team with 2 losses.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We lost 33-6 to South Carolina. What do you expect? Some of you are delusional. And who really cares anyway?

The only rankings that matter now are the playoff rankings anyways. It's just mindless fodder for anything else. These polls mean nothing.

 

[HeismaNole]

We are 3-2. Why would we be ranked?

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Win the next 3, team will be ranked, but barely. Although the next 3 games will be tough conference games, those are not great teams and won't really move the needle much.

Exactly. The loss to South Carolina is the turd in the punch bowl for UK.

A road win against a Top 6 SEC team that has NFL talent all around was extremely impressive. It is hard to put up 700 yards of offense against air. Holding UGA to one TD was extremely impressive. They just lost their first reg season game in 4 years and scored 34 on Bama.

Exactly and Stoops usually has two per year. Wonder what the next one will be.

Our defense gives a chance against anybody.
